WIN AT HEW ORLEANS!
Nogieater opportunity ha. ever been afforded the American racing public to
earn a steady income>ith a small capital than does the Maxim & tray to. offer you
at New Orleans, beginning Thanksgiving Day, November 26.
Everybody conversant with the history of the Maxim & bay Co. knows that •

household word among patrons of the turf. No record approaches ours for the
number of winners named at long prices at the Crescent Clty- "r ( 1 ' '

The graft can be found in some form in
every department of natuie. We have
the social grafter, the official graftdr,
the grafter who lives upon the fame

upon the credulity of the public, and

Generally speaking, the peace officer
may shoot in self-defense only, rem-
embering that In this regard he, like
others, may do for another whatever
such other may do for himself; but
the questions have never been answer-
ed bo definitely that they settle every
ease, with varying facts and condi-
tions, that may come up.
There are, of course, decisions in
Texas and in all other states on the
question. The most recent decision is
Will Pull Through.
J. U. Royalty was removed from
the woman's room in the jail today to

of the healthy, robustous condition of
the body politic. Every public office
has tw. or three of these grafters
h-uifiiiig about feeding upon tho pub-
lic, and -vatching and praying for an
opportunity to deceive the people by
being elected or appointed to some
p ace of public trust.
The old court house has been a
kind of tramp stable where these gen-
try have been sheltered ami fed at the
taxpayers expense for a number of
years, and as soon as these officials
move' into their new quarters they
will be found lounging upon the chairs
and tables by day and hanging upon
the radiators by night, watching for
a hand out or a rake off. There is
a surplus of them both at the court
house and at the city hall. We would
furnish a list of them but the "Lion
Hearted, the Bengal Tiger from the
North," insists that it is libel to point
out a grafter and call him by name in
the same article and In order to es-
cape these troublesome complications
we will define a grafter in one issue
and name them In another.
This procedure will furnish the
•Lion Hearted" an opportunity to use
his favorite pleading, "the innuendo"
with the grafter at each end and one
in the middle.
THE WATER PROBLEM.
sylvanla in a case from Somerset
County. The defendant was a member
of tho police force of the town of
Somerset ,and while on his beat
sought to arrest an Individual ap-
parently engaged In attempting a
burglary, but who fled on his approach.
The officer pursued and, failing to
compel the fugative to halt, fired with
deadly efTect. An Indictment for mur-
der followed, and tho officer was duly
convicted of the crime of manslaugh-
ter. The defense was that the officer
hatl reasonable cause for believing
that the deceased was a criminal about
to commit a crime, and that the right
to arrest involved the right to compel
the fugitive to halt, even by resort
to shooting. The trial judge held
against defendant, and the refusal to
grant a new trial has been upheld.
In the case the Supreme Court
holds that an officer is not hound to
retreat when he Is attacked, or when
a criminal resists him, but that he has
no right to kill, merely because the
Individual whose arrest is desired
takes to his heels In an effort to
escape. It is argued that, to allow a
police officer, or any peace officer,
even with a warrant in his posession,
to shoot and kill the Individual sought
to be arrested merely because he
tlees in the effort to escape arrest,
would be to vest the officer with tho

Stroud, O. T., Nov. 18—A. P. Ater,
a widower with eight minor children,
tried twice to hang himself in his
barn fivo miles north of Stroud yes-
terday morning. One of his sons
prevented his father's attempt at self
murder. Ho was to have a salo at
his place today and a party for the
young folks this evening. His wife
killed herself two years ago. Several
neighbors are watching him, as ho
evidently is crazy.

"A citizen of Garber grafted some

Some time ago, a committee of
three trusties was appointed by the
Lord High Mayor to confer with the
Blakes in regard to a settlement of

Tho committee was also ostensibly
instructed to ascertain the purchase
price of the old plant if it could he
